Alexander Vladimirovich Popov (Russian: Александр Владимирович Попов, born 10 January 1984) is a Russian former pair skater. He teamed up with Arina Ushakova in 2000. After training under Liudmila Kalinina, they moved to the husband-and-wife team of Valentina and Valeri Tiukov, who coached them in Perm.[1] Ushakova/Popov won four medals on the JGP series – one gold, two silver, and one bronze – and qualified twice for the JGP Final. Their partnership ended in 2005.
